Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3176978A1] In one embodiment, a PoDL system includes a PSE that uses high side (30) and low side (32) circuit breakers that uncouple the PSE voltage source (20) from the wire pair (18) in the event that a fault is detected. Faults may include a temporary short to ground, or to a battery voltage, or between the wires (18). The breakers (30,32) perform an automatic retry operation in the event the fault has been removed. The voltages on the wires (18) in the wire pair may be monitored to determine whether the voltages are within a normal range or indicative of a fault condition. Other embodiments are disclosed.
